Yes, Windows 8 is still free for download and install. I am sure Microsoft going to charge it once they officially launch it. Windows 7 for example, now is cost about US$ 119.99 to US$219.99. So you can figure it out once Windows 8 is ready for retail.

Last year there was a release for Windows 8, it was beta if not mistaken. Now Windows 8 is at Consumer Preview version, so I think it should be quite stable with some bugs, which is expected. Hey, even iOS also have bugs.

To download it, go the links below for English and Chinese (Simplified Chinese only) versions:

So far only English, Simplified Chinese, French, German and Japanese versions are available. Looks like Microsoft knows about potential of China, that's why Simplified Chinese version come out together with other versions.

I already downloaded the 64-bit English version, but I will not install it directly. I will install on VirtualBox, but before that, I need to clean up my SSD again, which is always has less than 10GB of free space. :P

Note: Do take note of the file size of each ISO, it will take a very long time for slow speed connection.
